LS Electric is set to participate in Germany's power infrastructure exhibition, targeting the European energy market. The company plans to expand its local customer base by showcasing a range of products, from high-voltage transformers to direct current (DC) distribution solutions.
According to industry sources, LS Electric will take part in EM-Power 2026, which will be held in Munich from June 23 to 25. EM-Power is one of the main exhibitions at The Smarter E Europe, the largest energy exhibition in Europe, focusing on smart grids and power transmission and distribution infrastructure.
At the exhibition, LS Electric will present high-voltage transformers, molded transformers, and DC distribution solutions. The company aims to emphasize its total solution capabilities, covering power equipment from high to medium and low voltage.
A 132kV, 90MVA high-voltage transformer will be prominently displayed at the front of the booth. Earlier this year, LS Electric signed a supply contract worth 62 billion won (approximately $52 million) for a 400kV high-voltage transformer with a German energy company, accelerating its entry into the European high-voltage market.
The company will also showcase molded transformers and high-voltage switchgear. LS Electric became the first in South Korea to obtain European environmental performance certification for distribution molded transformers last year and plans to gradually transition the insulation materials to halogen-free to cater to the environmentally conscious European market.
The power industry anticipates a continued shortage of high-voltage transformers and distribution solutions due to the ongoing replacement of aging power grids in Europe and the expansion of AI data centers.
DC distribution solutions will also be a key exhibit. Interest in DC-based power systems is growing as they reduce power conversion losses and enhance operational efficiency, driven by the rise of AI data centers and the spread of renewable energy.
Europe is expanding electrification policies in industry, transportation, and heating to achieve carbon neutrality and energy security. The European Commission estimates that approximately 584 billion euros will be needed for power grid investments by 2030.
An LS Electric representative stated, "Through our participation in this exhibition, we will highlight our total power solution capabilities, from high-voltage to distribution. We aim to strengthen our lineup of eco-friendly and high-efficiency solutions and fully launch our strategy to penetrate the European market, which is our next key market after North America."
